Contest is Officially Over.
Let's all wait and see what the winners think of their kives!! Thank you to everyone...............Great Fun!!
Well...................some of you are not going to like this.
I'm an ivory guy.
Actually...............................an ancient mammoth ivory kind of guy.
A knife hafted in bone??????...............honestly, never could understand it.
Now, however, after doing all the research I've done to develop patterns and learn the history and traditions behind traditional slip-joint folders, I find myself looking at the photos in the old catalogs and books.............and I am surprised to say...............wondering which bone looks better!!!!
Not only the bone color, but the jigging too.
So, let's have some fun!!
For the next seven days, post a photo of the knife with your favorite bone handles. One post per person. If you want to post more, you can, but only one entry per ID. I'll throw the post numbers in a hat, and have my puppy Ginger pull one out.
Bone handled knives ONLY please. No trying to schmooze Judge Ginger with ivory photos...........it won't work!! She's not just cute, she's smart too!!!
The winner gets the ivory gents folder in the photos.
Now look boys and girls, this is not a referendum on what's better, bone or ivory. It's about which bone, color and jigging, looks best on a knife, in YOUR opinion. Be nice, watch the bone jokes as this is a family show.
And.............this is for fun and no other reason. I'm just sweetening the pot with this gents.............. hafted in genuine blue ancient mammoth ivory bark.
So let's see those knives and have a little fun.
The last picture is of Ginger, you can't have her.
But she will be fair and impartial picking the winner.

Blade: 154CM
